Re: AWS using 2^30 for bandwidth. That's a serious error - I have never seen bandwidth ever measured in anything other than SI Prefixes. In fact, on the few occasions I've seen data transmissions measurements called out as GiB, I've done a bit of research, and discovered that the author was incorrect, and that the actual data transmission was really GB. Memory is the only place you should ever see GB mean 2^30 - and, it would be nice (though unlikely) if everyone could just switch to GiB when referring to memory, and then GB=GB, and GiB=GiB.
